Chapter Eight ~ Meet the Dragon!

*Kim's POV*

I have no idea how many days have passed. Arthur and Kai seemed to be bored of me, as they thankfully haven't been in for a while. Kai had attempted to rape me, but there was no way in hell I was going to let him. I'd kicked him, but unlike Arthur, he had gotten angry and beat the living daylights out of me. Yesterday I'd heard something happening downstairs, but when I tried the bedroom door, I found it locked. I spent most of my day huddled in the far corner. Arthur may have tried to get the better of me once, but he won't get a second try! He hadn't gotten far in his attempt to rape me, but I feared that the next time he'd most probably succeed. I thought having me held here as long as they had, they would of tried more, but I just never saw them.

The sudden sound of the door opening made me jump out of my skin. I ducked further into the shadows, hoping they wouldn't see me. A figure entered, and due to the lack of light I couldn't see him. He threw someone across the room, causing them to crash into the wall.

Whoever it was made no sound as they slumped to the floor just ahead of me. The black figure exited the room slamming the door behind him, leaving me with the unconscious person.

I crawled over to the motionless body, and his face finally came into my sight. My hazel eyes widened and my mouth dropped as I scrambled away. It was... but he's dead.. last time I saw him, he was dying... now he's here... clearly alive... Jack Brewer. My best friend and possible boyfriend laid in front of me, totally out of it. I watched his chest raise and fall for a while. I was still trying to take in the fact that he was actually here. I found it even harder to believe that he actually still alive, even though he was in front of me, breathing! I took a deep breath, easing my heart rate as I gently touched his shoulder.

"Jack..." I said softly shaking him. Before I said anything else or was able to react, his hand locked around my wrist and flipped me. I landed on my back in complete surprise, next thing I knew he was on top of me. I froze recalling what Arthur had tried to do to me. Jack's eyes where wide open, non-blinking as he raised his fist.

"JACK!" I cried trying to get him to stop. He stopped and blinked his eyes hard. When he reopened them I meet chocolate brown terrified eyes, as he realized what he had done and was about to do. He pounced backwards landing on the floor ahead of me. He then moved back even more, trying to put as much space between us as possible. He was attempting to slow his breathing, but I think it was mainly to get his anger under control. It had been quite scary, when he was on top of me. He'd had a death look in his eyes that I had never seen before, and to be honest it petrified me!

"You tried to wake me, didn't you.." He bowed his head down looking completely defeated. "Don't ever do that again!"

"I'm sorry," I stopped apologizing , when I realized that I didn't get what he had meant. "Wait what?"

"I have some sort of subconscious reflex," He shrugged. "You asked where my mother's black eye came from once. Well that was my fault." My eyes widened "Yeah. She tried to wake me while I was in the middle of a nightmare. I awoke and punched her for no reason."

"Oh..." was all I could say. Now I got it. Note to self: Never try to wake Jack!

"Yeah." He sighed getting to his feet he came over and offered his hand. Which I took. He then pulled me to my feet, bringing me into a hug. "Sorry.." He mumbled into my shoulder. I relaxed in his warm embrace. He may of just tried to kill me but I was just so glade that he was here alive. That's when I remembered what had happened the last time we where together. I pulled out of the embrace and walked back a little so I could see his face better.
